Name: Alex Beta Date of Birth: March, 23, 1988 Appearance: Blood Status: Half-Blood (However I could have sworn there was a term for someone with a pure parents and a half-blood parent) Personality: Alex is an extrovert – permanently friendly, forgives easily and considers everyone who she hasn't met to be a friend. Her charisma and confidence has not been limited at all by the tough times she has lived through. This positivity can come off as clingy annoyance to people who don't like constant interaction. She is rather impulsive, jumping to conclusions or being the first one to run down a dangerous path. This is likely due to her high energy, which always seems to be unending. Her rather fun-loving nature makes her pleasant to be around. Alex has a very youthful personality and an optimistic outlook to life and adventure. To go with that, adventure and discovery are what she dearly craves. She has the constant urge to "discover what's out there".  Wand: Pear Wood, Unicorn Horn core. House: Hufflebuff Best Classes: Flying, Herbology, Potions, Astronomy Worst Classes: DADA, History of Magic, Transfiguration. History: Alex was born to two magical parents in a house full of magic. She lived up in a quiet, rural town, away from any prying eyes other then some tired old farmers. Her mother was famous among the world of wizards as a talented botanist, growing all sorts of magical plants. Witches and wizards would travel from all over to buy her ingredients for potions. She was soft spoken and quiet, as well as a pure blood, teaching Alex everything she knew about brewing magical potions. Her father, on the other hand, is not soft spoken or quiet. He was an ambitious and charismatic broom flying champion. He is young and fearless, working as a traveling performer before he met Alex's mother. Somehow, even as a half-blood, he won Alex's mother's heart. He took it upon himself to teach Alex to work for what she wants as well as never taking no for an answer. He also taught Alex to fly a broom, and after several failed attempts, Alex was almost flying as recklessly as her father.  Magic came naturally and freely to a young Alex, since her parents had rather lack rules within the house. And with no fear of getting caught Alex practiced and practiced. The day her acceptance letter arrived was one of the greatest days of her life, and she was enthusiastic to get going.

Oooooo...I love the idea of playing a muggleborn whose parents were killed by Death Eaters during the war. Maybe they join this society out of vengeance.

Aeden Selwyn is gonna be a Slytherin. Red Oak and Phoenix Feather. An excellent dueling wand, I must say. Skylar is Ravenclaw. Sycamore Dragon Heartstring Alex, Hufflepuff. A pear wand with a Unicorn core. I suggest you look up your wand woods and cores on the Pottermore Wiki. I didn't choose them at random, and I'd love to see you incorporate your wand's quirks into the story. I like to think of them as objects with personality, semi-sentient even. I also want to reiterate that even if I give you a house and a wand, it's not acceptance into the RP. I don't know how many people will submit sheets, and I am only selecting six others. Please understand and be patient. If I don't accept you immediately, I am still going to keep your CS in mind and if we lose people I may message you. I'll "keep your resume on file" so to speak.

Is anyone else having problems with losing line breaks when copy/pasting in the site?

NAME : Seleana Artemis Moon DOB : May, 1st, 1987 APPEARENCE : BLOOD STATUS : Pureblood (But both parents are Squibs) PERSONALITY : Seleana is always ready with a smile or encouraging word even for those she doesn't know. A sunny child she's know for climbing and running about without cease while the sun shines. Gifted or cursed with an insatiable curiosity Seleana hates secrets, closed doors an sealed boxes. Taught that Honesty and Friendship are more valuable than Galleons Seleana tries never to lie and stands by her word and friends. WAND : HOUSE : BEST CLASSES : Charms, Flying and Transfiguration. WORST CLASSES : Herbology, Astronomy and History of Magic HISTORY : Seleana was born on the Isle of Wright to Ian an Hecate Moon. Both of her parents are without magic but came from pureblood lines and are therefore Squibs. Her Father was raised by the prestigious Moon Family and given the finest education available in the muggle world. This gave him the skills and schooling necessary to excel in the muggle world where he is now a highly respected MP of three terms and seems guaranteed a fourth term in the next election. Her mother is a teacher at the St. Vincent Academy on the Isle of Wright who teaches Advanced Science classes to the upper 2% of the school. Her parents met at the Quidditch World cup while attending with their families and fell madly in love. Both families approved of their marriage seeing it as better than having to deal with the introduction of a muggle into their lives. The happy couple moved to the Isle of Wright and within two years were expecting their first child. They named her Seleana after Ian's great grandmother when she was born and when it became apparent that she was magically talented her family celebrated her birth with great acclamation. Raised on the Isle of Wright Seleana lived in a house near that of her mother's parents who watched over her and taught her the practical knowledge of magic just as any pureblood would be.

@Gisk Yeah, it used to irritate me but now I've just gotten used to it. Someone should ask Mahz about it.

Probably Mahz already knows. I'll check the dev notes.

Name: Jackson Quincy Allbright Date of Birth: June 17th, 1986 Appearance: Hair: Rich dark brown, naturally wavy. Wear's it short-back-and-sides, with the top swept toward the right in an attractive wave. Eyes: Dark blue Complexion: Somewhat pale, with clear skin and few blemishes. Height: 5'7" Weight: 120 LB Blood Status: Half Blood, but related to a lot of pure blood families on his mother's side. Personality: A decisive and headstrong young man. It is difficult to sway him from his own path, and it's even more difficult for those who try to get in its way. He's always been one to stand his ground, and will do whatever he needs to in order to see his endeavors through to completion. He harbors a quiet hatred for Death Eaters and their ilk, and isn't sure where to direct his anger now that they've been mostly rooted out. Wand: Walnut, Dragon Heartstring. Imported from France, as Olivander was already in hiding when it was purchased. House: Gryffindor Best Classes: DADA, Muggle Studies, Potions Worst Classes: Astronomy, Divination History: Jackson's mother was a witch, and an auror, and his father was a muggle. During the war, Jackson's mother successfully hid her husband and younger son from the new order at the Ministry, but her eldest sone, Jackson, ended up being sent to school for his first year while Professor Snape was headmaster. As a Gryffindor in a new, Dark Arts sided regime he was often targeted by Slytherins and others, but he stuck it out through most of his first year and managed to deflect much of the malice directed at him by excelling in Professor Carrow's Dark Arts class. Even so, by May things were getting bad at the castle, and his blood status was cast into doubt when he couldn't(or wouldn't) give the name of his father. He ended up being taken in by the remnants of Dumbledore's Army, and hid for the rest of the year in the Room of Requirement, and fled with the other younger students when the Battle of Hogwarts started. With Voldemort vanquished, and the anti-muggle regime ended, Quincy Allbright(Jackson's father) was able to return from hiding. He took Jackson back into his house, and enrolled him in muggle school, having determined that the wizarding world was too dangerous for his children. With Hogwarts under repair, Jackson saw no alternative teacher, and realized he'd have to keep himself up to date in knowledge. He dragged his younger brother to Diagon Alley whenever he got the chance, and would trade both of their pocket money for sickles to purchase books, or potion ingredients. Or else they'd get a room in the Leaky Cauldron for a day so Jax could practice while his brother watched. He might never had returned to school, even when it reopened, if Hogwarts hadn't predicted exactly this reaction from muggle parents. Representatives from the Board of Governors were sent to muggle parents the summer before Hogwarts reopened, to reassure them that their children would be perfectly safe in the newly opened school. Quincy eventually, and reluctantly, agreed to allow both of his children to attend. In the end, he was swayed when Dana started showing signs of magic, and he realized that he wouldn't be able to raise two magical children when he was thoroughly unmagical himself. Name: Dana Zachary Allbright Date of Birth: April 20th 1988 Appearance: Hair: Light brown, straight. He dislikes getting a haircut, and as of the start of the year it falls over his ears. Eyes: Light gray Complexion: Pale, a little freckly around the nose Height: 5'4 Weight: 130 Blood Status: Half-Blood Personality: When he moves, he does so with great surety, but it often takes him a long period of deliberation. He's slow to act, and seems a little nervous about making decisions. It's not until the decision making is over that his nervous demeanor drops. Sometimes, quite unwisely some would say, he'll let someone else dictate what course of action is best, or else "leave it up to fate." Once a path is chosen, he'll stick with it, it's the choosing that he has trouble with. Has a good soul, and likes to lend a hand. Is intensely loyal to Jackson. Wand: Spruce with Phoenix Feather. Bought from a Wandmaker in New York, rather than Olivander. House: Hufflepuff Best Classes: You'll be First years, but I'm sure you have in mind what your character is good at. Worst Classes: These two are both extremes, so whatever isn't in either list you can be considered roughly average in. History: Jax's devoted younger brother. While Jackson was at his first year of school, Dana was in hiding with their father, for fear of being found by Death Eaters. At the time, he didn't really understand why they had moved to America, and was mostly concerned with the fact that his big brother wasn't there with him. His showing signs of magic was a big factor in his family's move back to Britain, and is the only reason that Jackson was able to return to Hogwarts when it reopened.

@Gisk I'm guessing the answer to this is a no, but... So, I know you've said not to use anime pictures, but what about something like cartoon, semi-realisism, chibi, etc? Or are actual photographs all that's allowed?

Selena: Chestnut and Unicorn for wand, Hufflepuff for house. Show me the picture and I'll tell you. I don't mind illustrations or cartoons, though I do prefer they be semi-realistic at least.

Love the wand Gisk. Red-oak is gorgeous and fits Aedan perfectly.

Alrighty, then. I'll just have to, um, actually draw it first. Probably get my friend to draw as well, since my art style is rather far from realistic, if I'm to be honest. Plus hers is so much prettier... XD I'll try to get up some examples and whatnot, so then you can pick and I'll (or she'll) know what to aim for.

Whoops

Whoops what?

I accidentally posted in this thread, and then deleted it and replaced it with whoops

Oh okay. Look, SixesandSevens, I dunno if you wanna put too much effort into something just for me to say I don't like the picture, you know? Start with a description or physical stats like I did so you can have a CS completed at least. If you wanna add a picture as a supplement to that, I won't mind.

Eep, I've been a little unclear, haven't I? I'm sorry about that...What I meant was that I'd upload a bunch of our old(er) art so that you could sort of pick out a specific style you'd like in advance, so that I/she don't/doesn't end up working on a picture you don't end up liking. Besides, I'll probably end up using it elsewhere anyways, so really, it's no problem. Anyways, I'll have a written description as well, of course. Probably won't supplement one for the other. Already begun working on the CS and whatnot.

Oops, the form's kind of... long. Should I edit out some parts, or...? (Also, I'll edit in the height / weight later.)

I'm not sure how I feel about him sharing Dumbledore's first name, actually. Would you mind terribly changing it to something else? He will be Hufflepuff(that was a hard decision to come by, let me tell you) and his wand, after almost two hours at the wandmaker's shop, is a Hawthorn wand with Dragon Heartstring.

You are a master sort-er!! I also have the copy/paste problem. If you click 'view rawr' at the top left of the post you can copy and paste from there and keep formatting m @.@
